If You Are a Dodder Flower

Part 59

Cao Yang walked away with a dark face. Xia Rou was relieved and closed the book in her hand to take a sip of black tea.

It looked like her hard work in drama club hadn't gone to waste. Her acting could now even fool big brother.

His suddenly coming to her to ask about the people who chased her had shocked her. She thought he had already learned of Liang Ziheng's antics.

If it was possible she didn't want to let Cao Yang have any relations with Liang Ziheng in this life.

Liang Ziheng... Xia Rou couldn't help but think: could it be fate? Even in this life, though nobody pulled the strings between them, Liang Ziheng had actually... come to chase her again!

The first time she met Liang Ziheng in front of the dorms, she thought it was a coincidence because Lu Jialan was staying in the same dorm building.

The two were cousins that had grown up together, so they were close. She also remembered that Lu Jialan mentioned to her in the past that in university, Liang Ziheng would often visit to pick her up.

In this life, Xia Rou and Liang Ziheng had only met a few times, without ever having had a proper conversation. She had also locked herself in to study during her last year of high school so she hadn't really participated in any social events in second semester. So she didn't think Liang Ziheng would remember her in this life, since they were nearly strangers.

Those things that happened in the past should stay there. In this life, he was a stranger.

She acted like he didn't exist, walking past him without even glancing at him. Who would have expected that person to call her name.

"Xia Rou? Are you Xia Rou?" he asked. Translated by The Novelst

"Xia Rou, that person is calling you!" said her roommate.

She had no choice but to stop walking and turn around.

The handsome young man had a surprised expression on his face. He was truly good-looking, or else she wouldn't have agreed to be with him in the first place.

She looked him up and down coldly, asking, "Who are you?"

Faced with an icy response in answer to his passion, others might feel a little awkward. But not Liang Ziheng.

He smiled and struck up a conversation with her: "I'm Liang Ziheng. Do you remember me? We met when you were still in high school. I'm Hu Chen's little cousin brother."

It was quite a distant relation. Furthermore, they had no blood-relation with different surnames. But indeed, they could be called cousins.

"Oh..." Xia Rou responded coldly. "Hello."

Liang Ziheng could immediately feel the distance and he smiled inside. Although her surname was not Cao, the coldness she carried was the same as Cao Yang.

But he wasn't discouraged.

"So you're also studying in Sheng Da. Coincidentally, my little sister is also studying here. Don't tell me the both of you are in the same dorm?" He said, smiling. "Her name is Lu Jialan. Do you know her?"

"No," Xia Rou shook her head. "Do you need something? If not, I'll be going first. My roommate is still waiting for me."

So Liang Ziheng could only stand there and watch Xia Rou jog to catch up to Zhuang Xiao and the others, who were waiting for her. They went into the building together.

Was everyone in the Cao Family so hard to deal with?

Liang Ziheng felt a bit of defeat in his heart.

In the topmost circle, the real princesses wouldn't consider him for marriage, since his family background was seen as mediocre. But at least he was good-looking. They wouldn't consider marriage, but they wouldn't go so far as to ignore him, either.
